Phew. Finally. I was getting worried.

The Resident Evil 2: Remake no-hit attempt was my favorite run of the event. Carcy brought mad energy and mad skills.

All the other runs mentioned here were great too

 

Today several photos and documents were released of the earliest, and most secret, computers.

At least in the US the charging network has been a huge differentiator. I've heard from a few people doing road-trips in non-Teslas and having trouble with the multitude of charging networks. Superchargers can get busy but I've never had a problem with them or gotten stranded. Hopefully NACS will improve this situation for all brands.

Yeah if I could buy a similar car with the same features at the same price from a manufacturer like Toyota, the choice for better build quality is obvious. However up until basically this year that has not been the case. My only real complaint with my M3 is the terrible paint they use. But I can live with it.

In the 5 years I've owned my Model 3 it's never needed any service. Only new tires. They are not even remotely as bad of a car as clickbait sites make them out to be. Yeah yeah Teslas aren't perfect, but no car is. Be realistic.

It being associated with Musk and his crazy rants is annoying though. Almost annoying enough to trade it in, but I don't particularly want to spend a bunch of money and getting rid of an almost like-new working car.

As someone who still drives a Tesla vehicle I bought years ago, well before Musk totally went off the rails, can he please just leave?

[–] cowpowered@lemm.ee 21 points 9 months ago

Tesla's lofty stock price is to some extent based on hype, and Musk being credited (far too much imo) for the company's success. If he did leave the stock price would come down to something more sensible, which at least short-term would make shareholders unhappy. But yeah leaving him in charge after what he did to Twitter must also be causing sleepless nights.

Ayaneo has a pretty good track record making portable gaming devices, mostly running Windows. I'm guessing "subscriptions" here is a mistranslation for pre-orders.

There's a pretty good reasoning for this in the article:

"an independent third-party committee had found evidence of tampering with safety tests on as many as 64 vehicle models, including those sold under the Toyota brand."

News outlets like the BBC try (in my experience most of the time, but not always) to avoid implying something without some evidence or source. The driver was probably at fault, but it could have been a mechanical failure, a panicky swerve to avoid a dog running into the road, etc. Without knowing more they report passively, which I feel is appropriate.

Trump was caught attempting to blackmail a foreign leader for political gain, with dramatic geopolitical implications. Hunter Biden's minor misdeeds are a total nothingburger in comparison. I agree with the other comment, this smells of desperation.
